“A great find!”

Next door (and physically connected) to its high-end $$$ sister hotel (the Nap Patong), the Sea Patong is a real bargain at its price. A fairly small (39 rooms) but contemporary "boutique" hotel that, while forgoing amenities such as a gym, business center and travel agent (the Nap's facilities can be used albeit at a nominal cost), they do have a very nice rooftop pool and restaurant. My overall experience and service was likely on par with the Sea's high-end sister hotel, just with smaller somewhat less luxurious rooms and fewer amenities. Front desk personnel spoke fluent English and management was exceptional. The Sea's location is on a fairly quiet but safe street off Thaweewong Road (the road bordering the beach) somewhat on the northern edge of most action, but the beach is only a few minutes and Bangla (walking) street is under a 10 minute walk. With my main purpose in Phuket being scuba diving, I'll note the Sea's location is good and dive shop morning pick up was no problem. Unless I was looking to spend much more, I would not think twice about staying here again!

“Decent hotel”

Nice, clean, quiet, modern setup, very nice breakfast, 3 minute walk to Patong beach street. A decent hotel, had a cmfortable stay.

“Hotel The Sea”

Un accueil incomparable, super service. Confort et Très bonne localité.

“Excellent, well worth the value”

I stayed here for 4 nights with a couple of my girl friends, and it was a really good experience. We arrived well after midnight, but they were very accommodating from check-in until check-out. We shared one room, and it was clean - we didn't find any insects or dirty linens or anything of that sort. We had breakfast every morning at the restaurant in the hotel beside The Sea, and as I've read in reviews before, the breakfast was very good - buffet style with lots of variety (omelets, both western & Thai food, breads & croissants, fruit, dessert, etc). The staff are very friendly, and they helped us with recommending places to eat, calling to confirm tours we had booked, and on the last day, they held our bags after check-out so we could go to the beach/shopping (they also gave us fresh beach towels to use), then gave us a room to shower for free afterward. They also personally drove us to the airport (for 800 baht between the 3 of us). The beach is about a 5 minute walk, and there are lots of shops and markets nearby as well. It took about 15 minutes to get down to Bangla Road where all the nightlife & such are - very close and manageable. The shower in our room was good, too - water pressure and temperature were perfectly fine. Our stay at The Sea was excellent, with a clean & comfortable room, a good breakfast and very accommodating staff. We all agreed that we would definitely stay here again, and we recommend it.
